Using group Managed Service Accounts (gMSA)

* 
NOTE: By default, all services run as LocalSystem. Using gMSA accounts as the service account is not supported.

When using a group Managed Service Account for your agent deployment:

•
The account must end with '$' and the password must be blank.
•
The domain should be entered in the Fully Qualified Domain Name format.
•
The local Administrator group must be added to the group policy debug programs. (Found under Local Computer Policy | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | User Rights Assignments | Debug programs.)
•
The Windows client must be run as the administrator. (Right-click and select Run as administrator.)
•
The agent host must be correctly configured to successfully retrieve the managed password for the specified group Managed Service Account.
•
The Coordinator Credential Configurator must be run as the administrator. (Right-click and select Run as administrator.)
•
For manual installations, the agent installer must be run as the administrator. (Right-click and select Run as administrator.)
•
For foreign domain agent deployments, the account name for the agent to connect to the coordinator should be specified with the Fully Qualified Domain Name (For example: domain.com\user.)
•
For foreign domain agent deployments, a trust relationship with the foreign domain and the coordinator's domain is required.

For information on group Managed Service Account implementations and requirements, refer to Microsoft documentation.

Deploy agents

Agents deployed to servers (domain controllers and member servers) track changes in real time. When a change is made on a server, the agent captures the change information (audit event), batches and forwards the information to the coordinator, which then inserts the event details into the Change Auditor database.

* 
NOTE:  
•
If the Change Auditor for Logon Activity Workstations auditing module is licensed, you must deploy agents to the workstations that you want to monitor.
•
For information on deploying and installing agents in a foreign forest, see the Change Auditor Installation Guide.
To deploy agents:
1
Verify that the user account used to deploy agents is at least a Domain Admin in every domain that contains servers and workstations where agents are to be deployed.
2
Verify that the user account is also a member of the ChangeAuditor Administrators group in the specified Change Auditor installation.
3
Open the Change Auditor client. The Deployment page is displayed if agents have not yet been deployed. Otherwise, use View | Deployment to open the Deployment page.
The Deployment page is populated with the servers (domain controllers and member servers) and workstations discovered in your Active Directory environment.
* 
NOTE: The Deployment page may initially be empty until the current forest’s server topology has been initially harvested. This page is automatically refreshed after this task has completed.
4
From this list, select an entry and select Credentials | Set to enter the proper user credentials for installing agents on the selected domain.
* 
NOTE: If you are using a group Managed Service Account, see Using group Managed Service Accounts (gMSA) for additional requirements.
On the Domain Credentials dialog, select the domain from the list and click Set. On the Logon Credentials dialog enter the credentials of a user with administrator rights on the selected domain.
5
After entering the proper credentials, select the entry back on the Deployment page and select Credentials | Test. If you get a Valid Creds status in the Deployment Result column, you can start deploying agents to that domain.
If you get a Logon Failure status in the Deployment Result column, use the Credentials | Set command to reenter the proper credentials for installing agents.
6
By default, the Change Auditor agent folders (Agent, Systray) is installed to %ProgramFiles%\Quest\ChangeAuditor. You can, however, change the location of the installation folder by clicking Advanced Options.
7
Select one or more servers and workstations on the Deployment page and click Install or Upgrade.
8
On the Install or Upgrade dialog select one of the following options to schedule the deployment task:
•
Now (default)
•
When
If you select the When option, enter the date and time when you want the deployment task to be initiated. Click OK to initiate or schedule the deployment task.
Back on the Deployment page, the Agent Status column will display ‘Pending’ and the When column will display the date and time specified.
* 
NOTE: To cancel a pending deployment task, select the server and workstation and then click Install or Upgrade. On the Install or Upgrade dialog, click Clear Pending.
9
As agents are successfully connected to the coordinator, the corresponding Deployment Result cell displays ‘Success’, the Agent Status cell displays ‘Active’ and a desktop notification is displayed in the lower right-hand corner of your screen.
* 
NOTE: To deactivate these desktop notifications, select Action | Agent Notifications.
After the deployment, you will see a previous version of an agent in the Version cell if you installed the agent on an unsupported platform. See the Change Auditor Installation Guide for more details.

Connect to a different foreign forest/update credentials

Once an agent is installed, you can select to use a different coordinator in another forest or update the credentials.

* 
IMPORTANT: The agent must be restarted once a change has been made.
To update foreign agent credentials from the Change Auditor client
1
Select the Deployment tab.
2
Select one or more deployed foreign agent servers or workstations and click Foreign Agent Credentials.
* 
NOTE:  
•
Multiple agents in the same foreign forest can be selected, scheduled and (when scheduled to do so) processed concurrently.
•
Agents in different foreign forests must be selected and scheduled separately but (when scheduled to do so) can be processed concurrently.
3
Select one of the following options to initiate or schedule the task and click OK:
•
Now (default)
•
When (If you select this option, enter the date and time when you want the task to initiate.)
4
Enter the Active Directory credential information to locate the Change Auditor Installation and allow the agent to connect to the coordinator in the remote forest.
•
Coordinator Forest Root (example.com): Enter the coordinator forest root domain name and an account to be used by the agent to connect to the coordinator.
•
Account Name (example.com\user): Enter the name of the account that can find and connect to a coordinator in the Active Directory forest.
•
Account Password : Enter the password associated with the specified account.
•
Account Type: Select the account type of the specified account.
* 
NOTE: If you are using a group Managed Service Account, see Using group Managed Service Accounts (gMSA) for additional requirements.
5
Click OK to initiate or schedule the credential update task.

 

* 
NOTE: You can alternatively update the forest and credentials using the Coordinator Credential Configurator which is accessed by:
•
Right-clicking the agent SysTray and selecting Coordinator Credential Configurator, or
•
Running the CoordinatorCredentialConfigurator.exe file in the agent installation folder on the agent server. (By default, this is located under %ProgramFiles%\Quest\ChangeAuditor\Agent.)

If User Account Control is enabled, you may need to authorize the Coordinator Credential Configurator to use the required elevated permissions by right-clicking on the tool and selecting 'Run as administrator' option.

Change the agent installation location and system tray option

By default, the Change Auditor agent folders (Agent, Systray) is installed to %ProgramFiles%\Quest\ChangeAuditor\. You can, however, change the location of the installation folder by selecting Advanced Options on the Deployment page.

* 
NOTE: The other option available under Advanced Options are discussed in the Active Roles Integration section in the Change Auditor Installation Guide.
To change the agent installation location and system tray option:
1
On the Deployment page, select one or more agents from the server/workstation list, and click Advanced Options.
2
To change the installation folder, check the Specify Agent Installation Location check box and enter the location to use for the agent installation folder.
* 
NOTE: The location entered is used for all servers and workstations with agents selected on the Deployment page.

By default, the system share (ADMIN$) is used; however, you can use a different share by selecting the Specify a Custom Share on the Remote Server option and entering the share to use.
5
Use the Launch ServiceStatusTray on startup options to indicate whether you would like to run/install the Change Auditor agent system tray icon when the agent is started.
•
Yes - launch the ServiceStatusTray on startup
•
No - do not launch the ServiceStatusTray on startup
•
Do not change - do not change the ServiceStatusTray launch option (default)
* 
NOTE: The agent system tray icon (and the LaunchServiceStatusTray on startup setting) applies only to server agents. For more information about this icon, see Agent system tray icon.
6
Use the Restart Agent on failure options to indicate whether to restart an agent if it fails to start.
•
Yes - restart agent on failure.
•
No - do not restart agent on failure
•
Do not change - do not change the restart agent option (default)
